I Look Quickly Away Erin D. Traynum
I look quickly away when I catch a glimpse of it,
After staring and searching for it,
looking into Them-
I see it and it frightens me
and I quickly look away-
Because I know I can fall into it-
I can fall inside of it and enjoy its warmth-
I can make it a part of me,
make it something I need-
like air and
food and
water-
make it a necessity-
and I can fall into it,
enjoy it,
smile at its mischievous personality,
adore its simplicity and complexity-
I can fall and Love it too much,
and I know that it can hurt me,
make my heart ache with a pain so painful
that I can feel as if my life is ending
so I look into it and I quickly look away.
